Oh man I'm so close to crafting all the runewords until I start to realise,
damn that percentage meter is still so far off, what's wrong?
Then I google that you ALSO need to craft all LADDER runewords :'(

If I had known this earlier!

So now my next question is,
Would it be too much to ask for people to perhaps give the materials to me on a fresh ladder char so that I can combine the ladder runewords & then hand them back the delivered product?
I really never ever play ladder

You don't need to combine them yourself, you just need to be in the same game

I didn't realise,
That works out even better.
But who's willing to do this?

You sure? Did they patch that?

Actively tested this a while back and for runewords, you had to make them yourself. No credit for the group/other players. That only applies for IDing sets/uniques.

Ladder vs. Non-Ladder: While you can make ladder runewords in offline/single-player, you cannot make them in online non-ladder during an active season. You must make them on a ladder character and wait for the season to end, or make them in single-player.

If you are playing strictly Online Non-Ladder, you will have to wait for the ladder season to end and for the runewords to migrate or become "active" for you to craft in Non-Ladder.

Maybe there's hope yet for me.
If this is the case, when does ladder end?

I teamed up with a buddy of mine who plays ladder. He gave me the low runes for all easy ones and I kept those. But let me roll meta and Mania for him and returned them to him.

You wont be able to make ladder only runewords on non ladder even when ladder ends, the ladder only runewords will only be avaible on non ladder when new runewords are introduced to a new ladder( at least this is how it have been always yet ).

Damn it

Yeah, ladder rws don't just become craftable in NL without blizz actively choosing to migrate them down. And that typically only happens when they replace them with new ones (or when they want to demote Mosaic I guess), not after every season. Season end only migrates the completed items down to NL, not the ability to make new ones.

That said, on the plus side, the only thing that takes some effort to get on ladder is the

Cham for Metamorphosis. All of the other ladder RWs are easily farmed up in just a few countess runs.
I'd suggest sucking it up and just rolling a quick ladder lock while ES is still as no-gear-OP as it is (i.e. this season still) and knock them out. If you get lucky, you'll find enough to include Metamorphosis. If you don't get all too lucky, you can still make the others and then find someone to bribe with a

Mal or

Ist or something to let you make his Metamorphosis for him.
